{ 12 tags of Christmas - Day 4 }

I was looking for a vintage "photo with Santa" like the one Tim used on his tag. Well, this is the only one I have. I know that Santa has his eyes closed and I know that the girl in the photo is crying...but, it's ME. I scanned the photo and changed it to black and white, cropped it and printed it on white cardstock. As usual, I don't have any of the supplies that Tim uses so I am using what I have. This is my first time stamping on the flower, I really like it. The stamp I used is by Stamp Camp. The little December stamp is a calendar that I have from Purple Onion Designs, and my little alphas are from Michaels dollar bin. I used Heidi Swapp chipboard (orange) alphas. I removed the top layer and applied vintage music sheet and some red ink. I omitted the DEC stencil type since I didn't want to cover ME or the sleeping Santa that is why I added the star to the left side. I think the photo is still awesome. Tim's tag.

  9. How fun this tag is! I remember my kids wanted nothing to do with Santa until about 4 years old! Alex will be at a good age this year for his Santa picture! Merry hugs to you and Alex!Deb
